"Wei Yundiao?"
The empress was still in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and her face darkened when she heard the inside story.
She almost forgot about the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother rarely leaves the palace, and rarely appears even on major holidays, except at the end of the year.
As for what she did in the deep palace, no one knew. Now that she suddenly came to protect Fuquan, she was afraid that the person who came was not good.
"I don't blame you. If you don't kill Fuquan, I will stop being the emperor."
Instead of blaming Zhao An, the empress looked at him favorably.
That's the Queen Mother. Even if she faces that woman who has no emotions or anger, her scalp will go numb.
As an emperor, if you can't even control the life and death of a young eunuch, you might as well give up the throne as soon as possible!
Zhao An was listless.
He completely lost his detached mentality of playing with the ancients, and just wanted to know if the empress could protect him.
If this woman had no guts and pushed him out to block the gun, she would probably die without a burial place.
"Slave, I thought you were so bold and fearless."
The empress was still in the mood to joke.
Zhao An gave her a smile that was uglier than crying, "How about you give me a warrant to release this slave from the palace."
"If you dare to escape, my secret guards will cut you to pieces."
The empress simply watched the fun and didn't mind it.
Zhao An was so angry that he couldn't do anything about her, so he could only keep this anger in his heart and look for opportunities to deal with her.
The two stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a while, finishing the show, and finally left under Wang Qinglian's reluctant eyes.
This plan has encountered twists and turns, and the Queen Mother has intervened, but the general direction will not change.
It doesn't matter if the Queen Mother is angry with Wang Qinglian. As long as Wang Qinglian makes a mistake, she can blame it on Chen Yuru. At that time, Wang Chang will definitely fight back against Chen.
A mad dog is enough for Chen Guogong to drink a pot.
For two days, nothing happened in the harem.
Xiao Shunzi and others were beaten up by Wei Yundiao and then shaved again.
Zhao An showed some concern at the right time and appointed Xiao Shunzi as the new royal chef.
"Your Majesty, the old prince is about to return to the capital."
The secret guard suddenly brought back good news.
The empress was overjoyed, but after the joy, she couldn't help but get angry because Chang Ming had probably entered the palace.
Under her nose, he sneaked into the harem without anyone noticing and assassinated her concubine, but she had to let it go.
"If I don't kill the old thief, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
The empress almost crushed the white jade cup. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Zhao An taking a nap, and she suddenly lost her temper.
Spineless dog slave!
He was afraid that the Queen Mother would send someone to arrest him, so he followed her closely, calling it a hug.
"Don't sleep!"
The empress poured a cup of tea on her head.
Zhao An woke up suddenly and made a guess when he saw her dark face.
It's a good thing that Chang Ming enters the palace, I guess I can get it tonight.
"Heartless guy, thank you for being able to laugh. Although the old prince is about to enter the capital, do you have any solution to the mother-child poison?"
"No."
Zhao An shrugged, as if it was none of his business.
The empress couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. The person who tied the bell had to be tied to untie the bell. She really couldn't help but give Chen Yuru the drug.
"Chang Ming is the one to take action, unless we capture him, but he is slipperier than a loach, so capturing him is unrealistic."
"So, you want me to watch the old prince die?" The empress clenched her jade hands with murderous intent.
Zhao An would be undecided for a while, unless he could get Chen Yuru to surrender, but that was impossible.
While they were talking, a eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei wants to see you."
Wei Yundiao is here!
Zhao An was shocked and was about to run away. The empress grabbed him and summoned Wei Yundiao.
The old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and kowtowed politely.
"Eunuch Wei, why are you here?"
"The Queen Mother wanted to see Eunuch Zhao, so she specially asked the young one to summon him."
Wei Yundiao raised the face of the mummy, with a sinister smile on his withered face. Zhao An asked: "May I ask what the Queen Mother summoned you for?"
"The Za family is just helping the Queen Mother to convey the message. How dare you guess the master's intentions? Eunuch Zhao, please go with the Za family."
Wei Yundiao made a gesture of invitation.
The Empress was quite loyal and said displeasedly: "It just so happens that I haven't been to see the Queen Mother for a long time. I'll take him there."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother specifically stated that she will not see you, but only Eunuch Zhao."
"As a son, I can't pay my respects to my mother." The empress' phoenix eyes were cold and calm, showing no anger. Wei Yundiao shrank his neck and said, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."
He was intolerant of meat and vegetables, and the empress could do nothing about it, so she gave Zhao An a look that said you were asking for more blessings.
I know her pretty face is unreliable!
Zhao An followed Wei Yundiao and left the imperial study room glumly.
Keep your head down and hurry up.
Arriving near Cining Palace, a huge steamer was leaning against the palace wall, filled with smoke. Two eunuchs were working hard to light the fire, and there was a faint smell of strange meat in the air.
Zhao An sniffed, it was not pork or mutton, let alone beef.
Wei Yundiao smiled solemnly, "It's Xiao Dezi from the Imperial Kitchen. The food cooked this morning was not to the Queen Mother's liking, so the Queen Mother ordered him to be steamed."
Steaming people?
Zhao An stared at the huge steamer, his stomach was churning, and he held his hand on the wall and vomited violently.
This is a show of force!
What a queen mother and what an old witch.
Fortunately, I thought she was an ally that I could win over, but after a long time, she became a big boss in the palace!
Zhao An tried his best to hold his breath, the smell of meat still penetrated his lungs.
The two little eunuchs setting fire to the fire turned out to be Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Kunzi with ashen faces...
"Eunuch Zhao, please."
Wei Yundiao was very satisfied with Zhao An's reaction. The young man who had risen to prominence finally knew what the harem was.
After entering Cining Palace, before entering the main hall, Wei Yundiao motioned to kneel down and wait for the call.
Zhao An was extremely reluctant, scolding the old witch in his heart, and knelt down.
As expected, Wei Yundiao didn't show up for half an hour after entering.
Zhao An was not in a hurry. He knelt on the ground and twisted around. It was not that his knees hurt. He had already foreseen this day. He tied some cotton pads to his knees, but he kept the same movement. It was uncomfortable because of the poor blood circulation.
It's night as soon as I kneel down.
Zhao An was hungry and silently greeted the eight generations of ancestors of the Queen Mother.
Suddenly Wei Yun walked out of the palace door with a smile on his face and asked at the top of his voice: "Eunuch Zhao, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
The weasel paid New Year greetings to the rooster, which was not a good intention.
Zhao An will not eat food from unknown sources.
"It's a pity. It took a whole day to make fresh steamed meat."
Wei Yundiao said jokingly and turned back to resume his life.
"You want me to eat people?"
Zhao An felt a chill, and his impression of the Queen Mother continued to hit new limits.
In the blink of an eye, late at night, there were only two young eunuchs on duty outside Cining Palace.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao An pretended to feel sleepy. He lowered his head and bit the black rosary hanging around his neck, swallowing one without anyone noticing.
This rosary is also a food that has been prepared in advance. It is crunchy and has a heart of wine. It tastes really good.
There is food and soft cushions, but I am afraid of a hammer!
